Fortnite has a massive competitive scene, and it's never too late to join in on the fun. Competitive Fortnite allows players to put their skills to the test, and participating in cups and events also grants gamers many exclusive cosmetic rewards. The Ranked Cups will be the first major competitive event of Chapter 5 Season 2, and to start things on the right foot, Epic Games is giving out tons of free rewards to those who participate.

Gamers interested in acquiring these cosmetic items before they're gone for good must enter the tournament and meet the requirements. This guide will tell fans everything they need to know to ensure that they can obtain the Pantheon Ranker glider as well as the exclusive Myths & Mortals loading screens.

Fortnite Ranked Cup Rewards

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Ranked Cups will take place between April 4 and May 19. During this event, gamers will have the opportunity to unlock limited-time rewards by playing matches and earning tournament points based on their match placement and number of eliminations. Here are the cosmetic rewards players can earn and the requirements for each prize:

  • Bolt of Light loading screen - Play six matches
  • Chain of Stars loading screen - Earn 25 points
  • Constellation's Wings loading screen - Earn 50 points
  • Pantheon Ranker glider - Earn 75 points

The Chapter 5 Season 2-themed loading screens are a great addition to fans' lockers, but the Pantheon Ranker glider cosmetic is what stands out the most when it comes to Fortnite Ranked Cup rewards. Players need to get 75 points in the Chapter 5 Season 2 Ranked Cups to unlock the Pantheon Ranker in Fortnite.

The appearance of the Pantheon Ranker umbrella depends on the player's Rank at the time of the Ranked Cup. To modify it, they'll need to participate in another Ranked Cup once they've increased their competitive Rank.
